The total income of Great Britain
for the last fiscal year is given by the
same authority as, ESQ. 591. 301. and
for the year preceding as fSS, 043, ITO,
SO that the increase of income in the
protective Empire of Germany is about
four times that of the freetradihg
kingdom of Great Britain.
As to the flourish which our free
trade contemporary makes OF Mr..
Goschen's surplus of 5000. 900. it is to
be said that it is surplus made from
the savings of appropriations which
were $26, 459, 3O5 in excess of those esti-
mated as needful for the previous year.
In plain language the Chancellor of
the Exchequer demanded nearly $H.-
OOO.OOO of extra allowances for the fiscal
year 1886. and. having spent only two
thirds of such extra aid, boasts Of a
surplus. This is very different from
the American surplus, which has ac-
companied decreased taxation.
But the worst part of the story as
against England has to be told: A large
portion Of the revenue, just quoted as
Esq, 591. 3O1. is derived from income
tax. Now the product Of the income
tax for the last fiscal year was f15.-
16O, 900, against about f12.OOO. 900 for
the year prior. and the increase in the
product was the result of an increase
in the tax of IL cents on the pound
sterling for 1866 to 16 cents for the
succeeding year. These figures are
not confirmatory Of our neighbor's
boast Chicago Journal

UNREASONABLE BOASTS.
A Few Statistical Eye-0peners For Pre-
varicating Free-Trade Advocates.

varlcating Free-Trade Advocates.
Says local free-trade advocate:
The protectionist journals in the United
States have for months been asserting that tSe
system Of free trade was undermining and de-
stroying the entire industrial and commercial
fabric of Great Britain, while protection was
building up that Of every other European
State.
Now, how much Of truth there is in this
statement may be ascertained from the fact
that while the revenues Of every continental
European State without exception, are exhib-
iting declining tendency, and their ex-
chequers large yearly deficiencies, those Of
Great Britain were scarcely ever before in
SO f1ourishing condition. Thus, a few days
since Mr.. GOschen, the British Chancellor, was
able to report a surplus Of nearly 100000 for
the current year, and to forecast larger one
for the ensuing year. He adds that the rev.
enuesu have largely exceeded the estimates
reduction of that bette noire Of the English
plutocratic and middle classes, the income tax.
This is a valuable mass of misstate-
ment. Not only is it untrue that 1.-The
revenues of every continental state (Of
Europe) are declining" but it is also
untrue that the revenues of free-trade
England are increasing in proportion
as those of protective Germany are.
The revenues of the German Empire
for four years are thus stated in kel-
ties Statesman's year book for 1887,
the estimate being in English pounds
sterling:

IlOn, anu MANKIND IN SiumDor! lniS - the
only singing of angels on earth of which we
have any account. Praise becomes u.s. The
particular reason for praise is our redemption
through the birth and consequent life and
death of the son Of God and the Son of Mary.
Hence the angels say, Glory to God in the
highest!" The grandest Inscriptions of praise
to God are due for the most amazing exhibition
of his love as shown in the gift of his Son to
universal songs. All can join in the angelic
angel declared, ~ bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be TO all people ito
Gentiles as we'll as Jews. So Christmas antici-
pated the Epiphany or the manifestation of
Christ to the wise men Of the East-men who
were not Hebrews.
Even the humble OF earth can unite In the
Inscriptions of "Glory to God" The very first
announcement of Christ's birth was made to
rustics and not to philosophers nor Rabbis.
g. We should cultivate personal interest In
Christ. We ought not study the paragraph be-
fore US as q scrap of history. The same tidings
are good to Us. Jesus is likewise our Savior.
This il the reason why Christmas keeps such
hold on the world. The interest can never die,
and that from the fact the benefit never ceases
With Bethlehem's angels let US exclaim,
"Glory to God in the highesti Let there be

Vermont can send down to posterity no

and schools are the strong walls which no
tyranny can break down nor oppression
destroy. AS in life's circulation the heart
is needed to send the warm current of
blood to every part, giving strength to
every muscle, and tirmuess to every pur-
pose, so the University is indispensable in
sending out the oxygen of lite through its
academies and schools to every part of the

the whole.

THE FIRST PRESIDENT.

During the whole time of our connection
with the College David CLARK Sanders was
our only instructor
Solitary and without aid, he eudeavOred
to organize classes, and give form and con
slstency TO public instruction. He bad
strOu2 faith in intellectual and moral cul-
ture, as means, under Providence, for the
attainment of the object of mans creation,
and he tried to exemplify that faith in his
zeal and energy of living action. At early
morn he was at his post, aud the shadows
of evening still found him hearing recita-
tons and giving instruction to class after
class, and urging them forward tn higher
and still higher attaiuments His giant
strength enabled him to perform labors
that would have crushed an ordinary man.
His kindness of manner and the personal
interest daily manifested created strong
feelings of admiration and gratitude i'll the
students
Probably no president ever attached
students more strongly or inspired them
with more ardor in the pursuit of knowl
edge, than did DR.. Sanders. His attain

The first commencement was celebrated
ON the Sd day of August, 1904, and from
the fact that college commencement was
then new thing, it excited great atten-
ton and drew together concourse of
people. The Court House where the eXer-
cises were conducted was filled to its ut
most capacity. Every countenance was
radiant with new delight and every one
seemed impressed with the idea that a
new era OF some sort was to be introduced
The day was propitious. The sun shone
bright and clear, and the calm waters of
the lake reflected back the tinted shadows
OF afcw floating clouds.
II Is II TACT worth particular notice, that
although | have attended 80 consecutive
commencements) during the first forty
years, the public exercises of that day
were not interrupted by a storm. So long
a succession of bright days for commence
ment almost created superstitious be-
lief that the new college was favored by
Providence.
The first commencement was in truth
an era in the lives of the four first gradu-
atsS and the lapse of more than SO years
has not eflaced its recolectons, nor abated
one Jot or little of its Inspirations
AS the manly form Of Doctor Sanders
rose to implore Gods blessing on the
event, the masses stood with bated breath
to drink in the burning thoughts OF the
noble teacher He seemed impressed
with the fact that "A new fundamentally
was about to be consecrated for the eeya-
| ton OF humanity and the earnestness
OF his manner with electric force touched
every heart That prayer, though it can
! not DO forgotten, cannot be described.
